Creative Direction

Embarking on a monumental journey, we reimagined the identity of the Pluk de Nacht Film Festival, drawing inspiration from comics, retro-futurism, and the iconic visual style of Saul Bass. This expansive project encompassed a diverse range of elements to breathe new life into the festival's image.

The Approach

We drew from the world of comics to infuse the festival's identity with dynamic storytelling. Retro-futuristic aesthetics added a timeless charm, creating an intriguing blend of old and new. Our creative approach was a fusion of nostalgia, modernity, and artistic excellence. We aimed to create an identity that pays homage to the past while embracing the future. The legendary Saul Bass served as a muse, guiding our visual choices. His minimalist yet impactful style influenced our design, setting the stage for a cohesive and memorable identity.
